Dallas Construction Lawyers

Proven Experience Resolving Complex Construction Disputes

The challenges faced by lawyers and litigants in large, multi-party construction
litigation are unique. Often, there are clearly bona fide construction
defects on a project or property but linking those defects to the specific
negligence that caused it can be difficult. Alternatively, an absence
of insurance or coverage issues create a difficulty for a project owner
to hold the proper party responsible. For general contractors and subcontractors,
getting sucked into a large construction dispute simply because you were
involved in a project or assisted in some issue that went wrong, that
doesn’t mean you have liability. Nevertheless, sometimes the cost
of defending in these situations is worse than the alleged damages. Invariably,
there may be issues concerning arbitration under the prime contract or
perhaps as a non-signatory you wish to avoid or compel arbitration.

Our firm is familiar with these scenarios and has aggressively prosecuted
and defended claims involving these very issues. Deans & Lyons, LLP
has successfully defended construction cases where the alleged damages
were a significant amount as well as obtained settlements and judgments
on behalf of clients where the damages were substantial. In 2013, our
attorneys obtained a settlement that resulted in one of the top 10 largest
reported settlements in Texas according to VerdictSearch in a large, multi-party
construction dispute involving a residential development.

Nationwide Counsel for Construction Defect Claims

Deans & Lyons, LLP represents project owners, general contractors,
and subcontractors, plaintiffs and defendants, in complex construction
litigation matters. We’ve handled cases before judges, juries, and
arbitrators and we not only understand the likely issues facing parties
embroiled in construction litigation but how to manage them to meet our
clients’ goals and expectations. Sometimes, early extrication from
a construction lawsuit is the goal. Sometimes, controlling the cost of
experts and lawyers is just as important as a dismissal. In many cases,
identifying the right testifying experts to develop winning legal theories
is critical to a winning result. We can help.
